About this title

Synopsis

For information specialists - researchers, librarians, and those whose work involves working with information - this text shows how to find answers to research and reference questions, as well as how to find e-mail addresses, maps, and shareware programs. Several different types of information resources - subject guides, search engines and specialized databases - are discussed, along with research skills and strategies. Help in evaluating sources is provided. Step-by-step activities are provided for most of the major search engines, directories, virtual libraries, and other information resources on the Web and the Internet.

Review

Praise for the first edition "Using the advice and tips in this guide will greatly improve one's efficiency in using the Internet. Information specialists are not the only ones who will benefit from this book; anyone who searches the Internet for information as part of their research will find it useful." Reference Reviews "This guide is essentially a textbook that would be optimally used in a hands-on classroom setting by computer and Internet novices, but experienced Internet librarians will appreciate its detailed, methodical approach . Motivated students and public library patrons may also find it useful." Library Journal

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
